How can I create an overlapping image and div box in Webflow?

To create an overlapping image and div block in Webflow, you will use Webflow's positioning system—typically relative and absolute positioning.

1. Add the Image and Div

• Drag in a parent container (usually a Div Block) that will hold both the image and the overlapping div.
• Add the image inside the container.
• Add another Div Block inside the same container. This will be the overlapping element.

2. Set Container Positioning

• Select the parent container (image wrapper).
• Set its position to Relative (under the Style panel → Layout → Position).
• This sets the frame of reference for absolute positioning of child elements.

3. Position the Overlapping Div

• Select the div block you want to overlap.
• Set its position to Absolute.
• Choose the alignment (e.g., top-right, center, bottom-left) or use custom positioning by setting pixel or percentage values for Top, Bottom, Left, Right.

4. Adjust Size and Z-Index

• Resize or style the overlapping div as needed using Width, Height, Background color, Padding, etc.
• If the div is behind the image, increase its Z-index (e.g., set Z-index to 2) to make it appear on top.

5. Optional: Add Style Effects

• Add rounded corners, shadows, or even text to the overlapping div for design purposes.
• Use Flexbox in the overlapping div if you want to center content inside it.

Summary

To make an image and a div block overlap in Webflow, wrap both inside a relative-positioned container, then set the overlapping div’s position to absolute and adjust its Z-index and layout settings.
